(The other schools are Trinity, St. Thomas', Bishops)Culturewise there are differences as Hillwood has the more "posh" culture and Swarnamali is a gov school just like any other.Education at both schools are good. The people your child would meet at Hillwood are of a different class and mindset, mostly.Expenses will be different as Hillwood will ask for money for a lot of things (not that Swarnamali will never ask <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" />)If you are ok with your child's expenses Hilwood has a slight edge.Sometimes these Anglican schools behave a little racist, not show to the outside, specially in selecting prefects etc, it's the Anglican child that has the advantage. But that doesn't mean others have no chance. All depends on how religious the incumbent principal is. And also the instructions given by the Bishop's office.Anyway I think Hilwood has more facilities and a slightly better education, maybe, although their aim is not to enter the university but go abroad, mostly.chose wisely. good luck.</blockquote>
